11 vehicles crash, tie up traffic at 605/405

An 11-car crash on the northbound 405 freeway near the 605 freeway has backed up traffic for miles on the 405 and the westbound 22, officials report.

There were no reports of serious injuries to anyone involved in what was likely a chain-reaction crash, California Highway Patrol Officer Denise Quesada said. Reports of the crash came in around 6:10 a.m., closing the carpool lane and two left lanes.

Most of the drivers were able to move their vehicles out of traffic by 7 a.m., though several remained in lanes as they waited for tow trucks. Lanes reopened just after 7:30 a.m.
